Buzzi Unicem S.p.A. is an Italian company, quoted on the Borsa Italiana, which produces cement, ready-mix concrete,[3] and construction aggregates.[4] Its headquarters are in the town of Casale Monferrato which was once known as the Italian 'cement capital'. Today it has subsidiaries, interests and operations in Italy, Luxembourg, Germany, Algeria and Eastern Europe as well as in North America.[5][failed verification]

The company was formed in September 1999 when Buzzi Cementi (founded as Fratelli Buzzi SpA in Trino by the brothers Pietro and Antonio Buzzi in 1907) took over Unicem (founded as Cementi Marchino in Casale by Luigi Marchino in 1878), and took on the name Buzzi Unicem.

The company was founded by a large family connected to the successful Italian fencer, Lorenzo Buzzi.
